Wrist sensors tested to combat healthcare worker burnout

This study explored whether wrist-worn sensors that track heart rate, sleep, and activity could help healthcare workers better understand and manage their stress and burnout. Researchers enrolled 80 staff from community health centers who wore the sensors for six weeks, receiving either immediate or delayed feedback about their stress levels. The goal was to see if real-time biofeedback increased awareness and prompted self-care activities to reduce burnout symptoms.
